Streets Of London - Ralph McTell

[00:12.110] Have you seen the old man
[00:15.730]In the closed down market
[00:19.240]Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:25.30]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:28.20]Hands held loosely at his side
[00:31.660]Yesterday＇s paper, telling yesterday＇s news
[00:38.339]So how can you tell me you＇re lonely
[00:44.589]And say for you that the sun don＇t shine
[00:50.409]Let me take you by the hand
[00:53.249]And lead you through the streets of London
[00:57.339]I＇ll show you something
[00:59.959]To make you change your mind
[01:09.20]Have you seen the old girl
[01:11.789]Who walks the streets of London
[01:15.210]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:21.429]She＇s no time for talking
[01:24.300]She just keeps right on walking
[01:27.330]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:35.199]So how can you tell me you＇re lonely
[01:42.100]And say for you that the sun don＇t shine
[01:47.879]Let me take you by the hand
[01:50.330]And lead you through the streets of London
[01:54.309]I＇ll show you something
[01:56.679]To make you change your mind
[02:12.360]In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:18.490]The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:24.730]Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:30.880]Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:38.320]So how can you tell me you＇re lonely
[02:45.490]And say for you that the sun don＇t shine
[02:51.580]Let me take you by the hand
[02:53.980]And lead you through the streets of London
[02:58.50]I＇ll show you something
[03:00.450]To make you change your mind
[03:05.680]Have you seen the old man
[03:12.840]Outside the seaman＇s mission
[03:16.140]Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:22.390]In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:28.300]For one more forgotten hero
[03:31.390]And a world which doesn＇t care
[03:36.170]So how can you tell me you＇re lonely
[03:43.130]And say for you that the sun don＇t shine
[03:48.920]Let me take you by the hand
[03:51.600]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:56.0]I＇ll show you something
[03:58.360]To make you change your mind
